Hiking in the WallMountain enthusiasts who are not deterred by the dangers of a strenuous mountain tour with very exposed sections will fully enjoy the steep cliff trail Sentiero degli Alpini, which is only partially secured with steel cables: Above them are vertical or overhanging high rock walls, next to them the abyss – sensational impressions guaranteed! This rock path (DAV/CAS difficulty level T3) would be more expected in the Dolomites than in Liguria. Therefore, this tour should remain reserved for alpine-experienced hikers.
